I have a PDF file called

   ~/Desktop/HR508.pdf

and I've installed Tracker 0.5.4 on a gNewSense GNU/Linux system (an 
Ubuntu Dapper derivative) using the repo pointed to by the Tracker 
download page.

I let Tracker index my home directory and I used the Deskbar search to 
look for

   hr508

Tracker found nothing.  I renamed the PDF file to "hr508.pdf" (note the 
case change on "hr") and searched again.  Tracker found the file!

I renamed the file back to "HR508.pdf", searched again, and Tracker did 
not find the file.

Trackerd's log file said:

So it seems that case changes somehow throw off Tracker's ability to 
find files.

Any help with this would be appreciated (besides renaming all of my 
files to avoid uppercase letters).  Thanks.
